How to spend a day in Piraeus, Athens’ rejuvenated seaside neighbourhood

Our microguides series is inspired by the slow travel movement, encouraging travellers to relax their pace and take a deep dive into one particular neighbourhood in a well-loved city. Rather than a whirlwind itinerary which aims to hit up every must-see attraction, these compact, close-up guides encourage you to zone in, take your time and truly explore like a local.

Although you’ve probably been through Athens’ bustling waterfront on your way to catch a jam-packed ferry to one of Greece’s islands, it would come as no surprise to find that you didn’t choose to linger in Europe’s largest port.
